KVM : GPU Passthrough2023/06/20 |
|
Configure GPU Passthrough for Virtual Machines.
By this configuration, it's possible to use GPU on Virtual Machines and run GPU Computing.
Before configuration, Enable VT-d (Intel) or AMD IOMMU (AMD) on BIOS Setting first.

| [1] | Enable IOMMU feature on KVM Host. |

| [2] | That's OK. For example, create a Debian 12 Virtual machine with GPU. Specify PCI identification number of GPU for [--host-device]. |
root@dlp:~# virt-install \
--name debian12 \
--ram 8192 \
--disk path=/var/kvm/images/debian12.img,size=30 \
--vcpus 4 \
--os-variant debian11 \
--network bridge=br0 \
--graphics none \
--console pty,target_type=serial \
--location /home/debian-12.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso \
--extra-args 'console=ttyS0,115200n8' \
--host-device 03:00.0 \
--features kvm_hidden=on \
--machine q35
